I go through this every year at the Cons when these hack resellers are always trying to inflate their prices to fans and collectors, and this is one of the many things that ruins it for all. Case in point: last year at the NYCC some resellers straight up were selling the TOD Sorceress for 50 dollars just booths away from Mattel where you could purchase her at 22.00 Now there was no shortage (until around Sunday but these 'business-men' had these prices already set since Thurs.) As an exhibitor I get in way before the doors open and with preview night and professional day, I see the prices offered to professionals before the general public make it in and the prices tags change. Now I understand to a fault that everyone needs to eat but not to the point where you make someone else starve. Just sad that this business and love has (like many other ventures) lured in the pirates and scalpers that can really do it more damage than expand it.

But I digress and apologize guys, back to the matter... it's guys like this that make things so bad.....

I ran into a similar thing at Celebration 3 (2005's Star wars convention the olny convention I've ever gone to) and saw the Vader that was offered there for 15 originally up to 90! (Too bad I really wanted one too ah well)

Admittedly I was having a bad evening after a few of my favorite sports teams didn't win, so after reading this thread and getting even more upset, I decided to contact him. I wanted to see how truthful or untruthful he was going to be. Below are my messages followed by his replies verbatim. You're going to love this....

Me: Question on your He-Man Figures. Ive been looking for these for a very long time and I know they are really rare and hard to find, but wanted to know if you'd take a little less for them. I was thinking around $4500-$4800? Hope you can help a guy out. Thanks!

Sellers Reply: Hi friend. Yes they are just big rare! And im selling them because i need that money for midical purposes! Thats why i sold them ,so if you interested in them let me know i can do for 4600$ shipping included to you if you pay by paypal or 4800$ by ebay! Hope its nice offer for you my friend! Please do let me know if you are interested as i have many offers around the world on them!such a rare figures for rare chance to get them!

Me: Wow! Its amazing to see how far you'd go to rip people off. Thanks for trying to take a significant amount of money from me for some figures that are worth no more than $75 combined. Anyone can see from your feedback that you bought them a few weeks ago for $120 and the figure are on reproduction cards. If you haven't already seen the posts about you and your scam, then you may want to check out the he-man.org forums. Several users have reported you to ebay and lll be doing the same shortly. Thanks for trying to help a guy out with lies and untruths.
